The National Communication Officer for the National Democratic Congress(NDC), Sammy Gyamfi has accused some staunch members of its party of betrayal. These members are the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, Minority Leader in Parliament, Haruna Iddrisu, and s the Member of Parliament for Asawase in the Ashanti Region, Alhaji Mohammed Mubarak Muntaka.

Sanny Gyamfi’s accusations come after the NDC directed its members on Parliament to vote against the nominees with security portfolios but it went against their directive to vote for them on Wednesday night.
In a statement released by the party on Thursday, 4th March 2021, Sammy Gyamfi stated that; Comrades, the betrayal we have suffered in the hands of the Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Alban Bagbin, the leadership of our Parliamentary group, particularly Hon. Haruna Iddrissu and Hon. Muntaka Mubarak, and dozens of our own MPs, is what strengthens me to work hard for the great NDC to regain power.
“They brazenly defied the leadership of the party and betrayed the collective good for their selfish interest. And we, must not let them succeed in their parochial quest to destroy the NDC, the party that has done so much for them and all of us. The shame they have brought on the party will forever hang like an albatross around their necks,” it added.
However, he urged the party not to let the betrayal of a few members quench their undying love for the party but rather strengthen them for the battle ahead.
“These are hard times for all of us but we should not let the betrayal of a few quench our love for the great NDC. Rather, let it strengthen us to fight for this party. We all have an equal stake in this party. They are few, we are many. Some have sold their conscience but ours is intact. And we, can work together to rebuild the party from the ashes of 3rd March, 2021, which I call “Black Wednesday ”- Our day of self-inflicted shame.
“This is the time for us to insist on the right changes in the leadership of the NDC group in Parliament or forget about them completely. The current leadership have lost their moral authority to lead and are not fit to sit on the front bench of the NDC side of the house. More importantly, it’s about time we understood, that we don’t have any NDC Speaker of Parliament. No we don’t! We have a Speaker who rode on the back of the NDC into Office to pursue his own parochial agenda and nothing more. You trust them, at your own peril”, he further stated.
